In morrowind you can put anything on top of anything but in this you can only place items on certain Tables and the ground which limits placement alot.
This is true. I guess what I mean is that perhaps since DD is a 2D game that it's just easier because it's simpler. It drove me nuts trying to place items just the way I wanted them in Morrowind because of the way you 'hold' items and because of the way they'd position themselves when you 'released' them.
It wasn't a showstopper flaw by any means. It's just that I had a lot more fun in DD decorating because I didn't have to spend as much time nor micromanage the process nearly as much as I did in Morrowind.
Bottom line, I'm just happy to be able to decorate my own in-game pad, regardless of difficulty.
